Galapagos Day 2- School visit and San Cristobal living

My visit to the Pedro Pablo Andrade School this morning was very interesting; I love learning how other countries education their future. I have some pictures here (http://picasaweb.google.com/buckaress/BuchananGalapagosDay2#) of my classroom visit. I taught a lesson on depredation (breaking down) of our environment and their responsibility to not only themselves, but also to educate their tourists.

On my free time this afternoon, I went snorkeling in the ocean with some of my fellow Toyota teachers. It was amazing to swim along giant sea turtles and talk to the sea lions (mercy do the sea lion stink with a combination of poo and fish)!

This evening I am having Thanksgiving dinner with my other Toyota teachers and Galapagos teachers we will be working with over the next few days on our ship M/V Santa Cruz. I don't think we'll be eating turkey and cranberry sauce (they're not indigenous LOL), but I'll let you know what we had for the meal.

The view from your hotel is so pretty, and that baby sea lion is so cute... i wouldn't have been able to not touch it...
